Updated 12/3/2023: the seller contacted me within 2 days after posting the old review. They refunded the RC car and sent a replacement by the end of the week. It definitely was the battery, so I got another battery and now both our girls have a car and they are very sturdy, bumping into walls, flipping over, and crashing into each other. They go pretty fast! My 5 year old learned the controls pretty quickly, so overall 5 out of 5 for ease of use, customer service, and durability.Old Review: Got this for my daughters 5th birthday. I like the concept, but the battery charging light would not stay lit consistently, which should have been the first red flag. We tried it out and you can go forward and reverse 3 times before the car would stop. Try turning and it would immediately shut down. I tried to get in touch customer support, since I'm past the 30 day return window, through the link in the product and it goes to a dead site. So I'm left with buying new batteries that cost as much as the car.

This was for replacing my child’s Minnie Mouse RC van by Just Play brand; which kept getting stuck everywhere. It was now time to introduce the kid to a real RC car. Dislikes, the remote control feels light and hollow in contrast with the old school “Nikko” controllers and “Mattel” controllers, the cover to access battery is difficult to open, I almost hurt my finger trying to pop it open. Now the likes: it’s fast and amazing and goes over almost anything. It’s got soft “airy” rubber tires, which absorb the shock well. It’s a lot of fun, the keep/car is quite powerful for its size. I have charged it once and then kid has played with it 3 times to her hearts content and the battery is still not depleted. It says it’s for 8 year old, but my 7 year old girl loves it. These controllers buttons (L R and up down) are better ergonomically in comparison to the ones that have a wheel thing on a gun type of handle. You won’t regret it. And no size dolls fit in there maybe an LOL doll. Easy could charge $35 for this car.

Great RC car. Fast and good all terrain ability. Lights are a cool touch.After 2 years the steering gave out. I cleaned out the gears and made sure it was alligned properly. Still cannot turn although the motor still works and it drives.

Superb product but difficult to charge

My granddaughter had fun driving a small Barbie doll in it. Like that you can adjust the speed.

I have played with this in stock and slightly modified form at a park. Let me be clear....*DO NOT EXPECT THIS TO BE A GREAT OFFROAD RC CAR*My wife bought this for me as a little gift to mess with. In stock form this is is a cheap rear wheel drive (2 wheel drive only) RC car. It would be fine for small children using it indoors or mostly flat surfaces. It also fits great under a stroller.My rating? 3 of 5 stars. Yes its cheap, but it will be fine for most indoor, flat surface, and very light offroad use. The pic of it in the grass was it being stuck in tall grass on a flat area. 30m approx range but at that distance you cant see it well (1st pic shows max range@1x zoom on camera). Works in rubber playground footing and sand (i.e. volleyball court).This thing has no torque so it cant get through tall grass or over small sticks. The tires are an odd point. They have to much grip on some surfaces causing the car to not be able to steer until its moving. Also the throttle and steering are all or nothing.Hope this helps.

The media could not be loaded. I got this as an upgrade to a supercheap rc that I got for my 3yo. This one is fantastic. It's got headlights that you can turn on and off from the controller... which isn't that fun but for some reason never gets old. The rechargeable battery lasts for longer than you expect it to, even if you have high expectations. The real value here tho is the durability and the range. My kid and I jumped it off the stairs about 50 times in a row, NO PROBLEM. He can chase it all around the parking lot NO PROBLEM. The only thing this truck can't do well is grass. It's not 4wd, and it's small... so there's that. This is a fun toy that won't break easily and doesn't cost much. Kinda perfect. Also this is the only RC that I've ever seen with a "thickness" rating, and somehow it makes sense. This thing is thick.

It's fun
